Tributes have been paid to one of Manchester City’s greatest players after the former striker and chairman Francis Lee died at the age of 79.
Lee became a legend at Maine Road, where he spent eight years as a player, joining City from home town club Bolton Wanderers in 1967 for a club-record £60,000. During his time at City, he won the First Division title in 1968, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup, scoring 148 goals in 330 appearances.
After leaving City he won another league title with Derby in 1975, a spell which is also remembered for an on-pitch fight with the Leeds hard man Norman Hunter.
